LIGE GPS Military Smart Watch for Men, LED Flashlight/Compass/45 Days Battery/IP68 Waterproof 1.43” AMOLED Smartwatch, 100+ Sports Modes Fitness Tracker, Rugged Smart Watches for Android iOS

Love it
Couldn’t ask for a better watch

Warranty Voided
I had bought my watch and after 2 weeks it broke and they have a 1 year warranty. When I reached out to them they told me they send me a replacement. Never received the replacement and never heard from them again.

What’s Included:- Watch, black silicone tactical band, brown silicone/leather professional band, magnetic USB charging cable, screen wipe, microfiber towel, warranty/support card & a user manual.First Impressions:- It has an AMOLED display for sharp clear images while using less power.- Display is 40.3mm in diameter (glass only) with a 36.8mm viewable area.- Body measures approx. 51.5mm wide x 56mm long (lug to lug) x 15.2mm thick. The lugs are 22mm wide, so it should work with any 22mm bands.- The bezel has a nice brushed black chrome look and should work with any outfit.- Flashlight integrated on the side of the watch.- Large 530mAh battery with a 30-day standby time & 5-7 days of standard working time.First Use:On initial power on, you have the option to choose your language and then it pops up with the QR code so you can download/pair the watch with your phone/app. I found if I pressed the top left GPS button it allowed the pairing to be bypassed. When I checked the settings, I was surprised to find the option for time & date. It was default set to sync with the app, but it actually allowed the feature to be turned off and I could set the time & date manually. This is a very rare thing to find on budget smartwatches and I was pleasantly surprised it had this feature. This allows the watch to actually function as a watch without the need to be paired with a phone/app to use. This is a major plus for me.I was finding features that are normally only found on premium/expensive smartwatches.- Always On Display (AOD) that can be enabled/disabled with selectable dial faces.- Tap to Wake so the screen turns on just by tapping the screen.- Cover to Sleep. When enabled, will turn off the screen if you cover the display with your palm. Also known as slap-to-sleep.- Active health monitoring that checks your heart rate, SpO2, Blood Pressure on a scheduled/set interval vs having to only check when manually triggered.- GPS tracking while exercising, so it will be able to record your location and map your routes while out for a run/walk.- Barometric pressure & altimeter sensors.Flashlight:The watch also has an integrated flashlight, which is currently not available on the premium smartwatches. It’s situated on the right edge of the watch body. There doesn’t seem to be a button to activate this and can only be done in the menu/settings (swipe down from the top and choose the flashlight icon). I wish there was a 4th button on the watch that would allow the flashlight to be turned on/off as this would be more convenient in my opinion. Currently, left handed users gets most of the back of their hands lit up and right handed users will get their entire forearm lit up, so not very useful for righties. Moving the light location to the top edge of the watch as this would be a more ideal location as a left or right handed user could use the light.Sensors:I enabled active scanning of my heart rate, blood pressure & blood oxygen and wore the watch to sleep to get my sleep numbers. When I woke up and checked the watch, it did not show any sleep data. The other thing I noticed was that it reported my heart rate hit 161bpm while I was sleeping. When I took off my watch and had breakfast, I decided to check the watch and confirm the heart rate, but the data was gone and only showed my average of 67bpm.I checked the GloryFitPro app on my phone and it showed no data even though I left GPS & Bluetooth enabled to ensure the watch sync’d with the phone/app. After I disabled Bluetooth and re-enabled, it finally sync’d the data for heart rate, sleep, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels. According to the app data, the heart rate only showed the same 67bpm, so it looks like there is some slight inaccuracies in the readings.It does provide good data to the app, which is similar to the health data reports you’d see on premium watches.Subsequent sleep tests were a bit more stable/accurate with the current data appearing on the watch itself.GPS:To use the GPS, it’s only accessible via the workout selection menu. When you select a workout (if outdoor), it will pull GPS data from your phone (if GPS is enabled on your phone) and you can start the workout immediately. If you decide to go and exercise with BT/GPS disabled on your phone or don’t bring your phone with you, I was surprised to find that GPS will work on the watch without the need of a phone/app pairing. The signal reception is not great vs a cellphone. You need to be outside in an open area for it to find the GPS satellites. You either need to be stationary in an open area, which takes approx. 2mins to sync, or it will work while you’re walking around (outside), but this can take approx. 4mins to sync.If you enable the workout before it syncs with the satellites, part of your workout route won’t be tracked. The tracking data is fairly accurate and provides a full map of your route. If not connected to your phone or if you don’t have internet, the watch will show the route, but on a black screen. Once you reconnect to your phone or once you get internet, the data will sync to your phone and provides a full map view with street info.I compared my workout data with my premium watch and found a lot of the info was almost identical with maybe a 5% variance.Pros:- Has ability to set the date and time manually without the need to pair with a phone/app.- Sensors for heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen level, steps, sleep & stress.- Lift to wake as well as tap to wake, so you can touch the screen to wake it up. These features can also be disabled.- It has cover/slap to sleep, which is like the premium smart watches where you cover the screen with your palm and it will turn off the screen. I’ve only seen this on one other budget smartwatch, but that watch couldn’t manually set the time/date, so a major bonus.- The AMOLED display has the Always On Display (AOD) that can be set for a low powered display of the time, so you don’t need to wake the screen to see the time.- The watch has 12 built-in dial faces and more can be selected from the app, but you can also select from 6 built-in AOD faces and more from the app.- Built-in flashlight on the side of the watch that provides ok lighting when needed.- Comes with 2 watch bands, an all-silicone tactical design and a silicone band with a “leather” cover on top to provide a more professional/classic look. These bands have quick release pogos and are 22mm wide, which is industry standard and very easily replaceable.- Has a large 530mAh battery that has been spec’d with up to 30-day standby time & up to 5-7 days of standard working time. After 1 week of mild to light use, the battery has dropped down to 90%, so I should be able to get at least 2 weeks if not more.- The watch can be paired as a Bluetooth device and turned into a speaker. This actually surprised me. Audio sync was perfect (no delay between the audio and lip movement in videos).Cons:- GPS function takes approx. 2-4mins to sync with the satellites and any workout started before it syncs means that tracking data would not be recorded in the first 2-4mins.- You require to setup an account in the GloryFitPro app in order to access some reports of your heath data.- Flashlight is on the right side of the watch, so it’s ok for left hand users, but doesn’t work well for right hand users. If the light was on the top edge of the watch, it would have worked for both users.Final Impression:Overall, the LIGE DM1-945 is an excellent budget smartwatch with features you’d only find on premium smartwatches. The design looks good in any scenario and with any outfit as it comes with both tactical looking silicone and professional/classic looking silicone/leather bands. Only minor design changes to the flashlight location would make this watch pretty much perfect. I would have liked if the GPS would acquire satellite data quicker as I don’t want to stand around 2-4mins for it to sync before starting my workout, but the GPS feature is a cut above the other budget smartwatches I’ve used in the past.

I have been on a mission to find the best non-brand name smartwatch on the market and I believe that I have found the right one. Most of the smartwatches that I have tested many of these smartwatches and all had the same or similar features. Things would look promising then the apps for the watch would disappoint. The LIGE A230+ is miles above all the smartwatches that I have tested. I tested the LIGE A230+ with my Android phone. Setting up and pairing the phone was straightforward. The GloryFitPro App allowed me to customize the smartwatch to capture all of my fitness data and sync it through a third-party app, which recorded everything in my phone’s native app. I am not the biggest fan of the watch faces that was provided, and I settled on a simple digital face to show all of my data.Appearance: 5/5- Classic military-style watch face with two simple button- The matte black face of the watch looks good with the two-tone rubber watch strap- The screen is bright and the colours are crisp- The strap was mistaken to be true leatherFunctionality: 5/5- Touch screen is responsive, swiping was easy and accurate- Watch synced with my phone with no issue- Recording of data such as heart rate was within a +/- of 2 with its readings- Flashlight came in handy several times, it was brighter than I thought it would be- GPS was good with this watch and rivalled my brand name watch that I have- The battery life was greater than 2 weeks of constant use! That is with constantly recording my health data- Bluetooth was great with notifications but was a little difficult with receiving and making calls- Remote shutter control worked flawlesslyGloryFitPro: 5/5- The app is very customizable- Weekly reports on my health data have been an asset in delivering data to my doctor- The app does a great job of graphically showing my health data- The GloryFitPro does a great job with the A230+ a lot of apps are cookie cutter, same format, different name. I felt that this app was customized for the A230+ featuresIt is amazing to think that you could get all of these features in a watch that is sub $150! $100 with the discount offered at the time of this review. The LIGE A230+ has replaced all of the brand smartwatches that I use and I could not be happier. This is a quality smartwatch that should be on the brand name smartwatch radar. Buy this watch with confidence.

So I got this watch not really thinking much of it. I thought it was 60 dollars but I am either remembering wrong or the price changed afterwards. But I love it. The app is extremely easy to use but make sure to get the glory fit pro app and not just the glory fit app. I didn’t get the pro at first and the features from the instructions were absent from the app. This is because the app will not tell you the device isn’t compatible, the app just seems to decide it is a different device. Once I got the proper app though, it worked great. The heart rate function seems to be accurate. The flashlight feature is reasonably bright. The compass took a bit of effort to calibrate but once I got it calibrated it worked well. The phone call feature right on the watch is also very cool. I was driving home from work and got a call on my phone, this watch let me answer the call, talk to the person with the watch microphone, and end the call when appropriate. I have hearing loss and even I was able to hear the other person on the phone call pretty decently. It comes with two different wrist straps and are extremely easy to install whichever one you prefer. The watch has two buttons of which one you can program to do what you want. I set it to bring up my music. This watch lets me pause music that are playing on my Bluetooth earbuds without touching the earbuds. Super useful because the raycon earbuds I like to use have a finicky pause that I often mess up and have to attempt numerous times. I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G so if you have a different phone it might not be able to pause the same way for you. Just do your research on your phone if this is a deal breaker for you. I like changing my wallpaper to various different pictures and because you use the app to set the wallpaper, you can select any photo from the device you are using the app on. It also has a bunch of health tracking features. I don’t do a ton of this kind of thing but it counted my steps reasonably well. It also had a default distance goal and calorie goal that is estimated based upon the info you enter in about yourself but I never bothered to change those goals as it doesn’t matter to me. The default screen shut off time on the watch is also rather short but it can be changed either on the app or the watch itself. I have had it for a month now and I haven’t come across anything that would be bad enough to put on this review. Hardly anything bad at all. Love this watch. Highly recommend it to anyone getting into smart watches. If you already have a bunch of smart watches or you are an enthusiast I’m not able to tell you if this is still a good buy because I am not those things. I do love it though
